Answer Key / Explanation : (d) -

(d)

None of these.

The thick filaments lies parallel to one another and thin filaments are present in orderly array between the thick filaments. In the centre of the I-band, there is a band of amorphous material called Z-line. In the middle of the A-band a comparatively less dark zone called H-zone of band is present. The area between the two Z-lines is called sarcomere. M-line is present, in the middle of H-zone.

In the centre of each I-band is an elastic fibre called Z-line which bisects it. The thin filaments are firmly attached to the Z-line. The thick filaments in the A-band are also held together in the middle of this band by thin fibrous membrane called M-line. The A and I-band are arranged alternately throughout the length of myofibrils. The portion of the myofibrils between two successive Z-lines is considered as the functional unit of contraction called sarcomere
